No, no blood vengeance actually. But amazing stats and magic. Plus he/she has inbuilt fire shield, blinding-on-strike, and high awe. Good resistances too.

How do you get one of those? I know you can wish for it.. but is there another way? I usually play Early Era and Choose Tien Chi all the time so I dont know if I am missing the way.... :S

MA Pythium has a conj 9 spell for 133 pearls that summons the seraph and a bunch of other angels.

Well it doesn't require a mage with S9, it brings a group of weaker angels that can be used as blockers and it brings the Seraph in as a commander - meaning no Gift of Reason is required.
Not too odd.

Marignon also gets the angel summons, both in Mid and Late. Late Marignon has acccess ot about a zillion awesome summons - all of blood and some crazy nationals, not to mention Fallen Angels from reascendance.

Months after I first chose Construction as my first choice, I would now choose Blood Magic. I think my game strategy changed a lot. I now use blood even when playing non-blood nations.

This thread was silly.

"I had a Seraph that could solo 40 Abominations!"

Well, not without Cons8 you didn't. And with Cons, you didn't have Seraphs (going by the question posed here). Somehow I doubt a naked Seraph is soloing 40 Abominations.....

I think it depends on the nation though, for a giant nation, you'd think it would be best overall to go Cons every time. Anyone who builds communions, has to go Thaum. Blood nations, really need the Blood. So..... I think a more interesting question would be if you only got *2* schools. Then you can play with synergies a bit, like Thaum+Evo for Jomon artillery communions.

Good Offensive and Defensive Spells:
1) Army of the Dead
2) Seeking Arrow
3) Most of the DOMES are here
I thought all the domes are from the Enchantment school?
